Get Kwaku back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Kwaku's my school-run minibus is Kwaku's only source of income and needs an engine head gasket replacement costing $150.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $150 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $25
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $120
• Labor charges: $5
I hope life is good to you.
